Fly in the Generation III games.

A field move is a move which can be used out of battle in the main Pokémon games. All Hidden Machine moves have a field move effect, and some moves accessible through leveling up, Technical Machines, or other means may also help the player through the game.

Field moves

HM moves

  • Cut: The Pokémon can cut down small trees and long grass on the field. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM01 in all generations.
  • Fly: The player can fly on the Pokémon to any previously visited city or town, or certain locations such as the Battle Tower in Hoenn. Fly can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM02 in all generations.
  • Surf: The player can travel on water by traveling on the Pokémon's back. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM03 in all generations.
  • Strength: The Pokémon is able to push boulders of a certain type around. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM04 in all generations.
  • Flash: The Pokémon can light up a cavern covered by darkness such as Dark Cave. Flash can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM05 in the first three generations, and by using TM70 in Generation IV.
  • Whirlpool: The Pokémon can dismiss small whirlpools on the water. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM06 in Generation II. Since Generation III it has been a regular level-up move.
  • Waterfall: The Pokémon can climb up waterfalls. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM07 in Generation II and all subsequent generations. It was also available in Generation I, but it didn't have the field move status.
  • Rock Smash: The Pokémon can smash boulders of a certain type into pieces. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using TM08 in Generation II or by using HM06 in Generation III and all subsequent generations.
  • Dive: The player can dive underwater when surfing in deep waters. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM08 in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald Versions. In all other games in which the move appears it has no field move effect.
  • Defog: The Pokémon can clear out fog on the field. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM05 in Generation IV.
  • Rock Climb: The Pokémon can climb up rocky walls. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM08 in Generation IV.

TM moves

  • Dig: The Pokémon can dig the player out of a cavern to the place where the player entered it, similar to an Escape Rope. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using TM28 in all generations. Several Pokémon can also learn the move by leveling up.
  • Teleport: The Pokémon can teleport the player to the front of the last visited Pokémon Center by using telekinesis. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using TM30 in Generation I, and it can be learned by many Psychic-type Pokémon.
  • Softboiled: The Pokémon cuts some of its HP to recover another Pokémon's HP. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using TM41 in Generation I, and it can be learned via level-up by Chansey and Blissey as well as certain Pokémon via a move tutor in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
  • Headbutt: The Pokémon can shake a small tree which may cause a wild Pokémon to fall down. It can be taught to a Pokémon by using TM02 in Generation II. Though available as a level up move in Generation I and future generations, it only had status as a field move in Generation II and has regained such status in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver where it is available via move tutor
  • Rock Smash: Can be taught to a Pokémon by using TM08 in Generation II, and is now an HM move. Clears cracked rocks; in Generation III Pokémon can occasionally be found in them.

  • Flash: Can be taught to a Pokémon by using HM05 in Generations I, II, and III, and is now a TM move. Lights up dark caves (previous to Generation III, the whole screen is dark; now a small circle around the player can be seen, which expands when Flash is used).
